New toy....

[Stihlben]

im going to have to erect another barn if i get another, ive now got 2 BMC mini's, a leland 154, a massey 135 and now the major.

did have seven leylands (384x2, 270x3, 272, 245) at one point but theyre long gone now and a long list of grey fergies and a couple of E27N majors.

thinking of something with a winch now...

BMC Mini became the 154 didn't it...? Bit of a Leyland fan then.... Are you a Classic Tractor reader....?

[Stihlben]

yep, it was the bmc mini 9/16 (bmc a series 950 engine)

then the nuffield 4/25 (1500 engine)

then the leyland 154 (same as nuffield 4/25)

 

and yes i am a subscriber to classic tractor and tractor and machinery....

i may have to find somewhere to post the photos of my stationary engine collection, and then my coolection of vintage farm/logging machines and tools (last count there were 70odd cross-cut saws in the container)...

Picked up a 'new' toy this morning, should be a good'un.

runs well just in need of a cometic restoration, needs a bit of work but nothing major...

has spent the last couple of years running a sawbench.

 

Diesel Major!, looks the part, I broke my left hand thumb with one of those when a teenager, hung over on frosty saturday morning snigging thinnings out and wheel hit a high stump spun steering wheel, whoolup thumb facing wrong way.

I think at some time in the distant past you leaned on a farm gate and contracted “collecting shite farming tackle disease”

 

It’s an incurable condition that forces sufferers to visit farm sales and auctions and compels them to fill every available space with obsolete farming equipment.

 

Sufferers can experience long periods of remission but the condition can return suddenly and without warning.

 

No cure or therapy is available and while the condition can lead to divorce it is seldom fatal.

Woohoo a fellow member of the clapped out old tractor club.

Keep it in its working livery.

Collecting parts is an advanced state of the condition, it’s often the precursor to divorce
